Sara is an excellent teacher for my 5-year-old daughter, who barely speaks English. My daughter quickly understood phonics and learned how to decode words. Sara is patient, highly skilled at teaching, and knows exactly how to adapt her approach to my daughter’s needs.
We absolutely love Sara… but Fred is still our favorite! 🙃

Abigail M
Abi has been tutoring my daughter for the past couple of months, and we couldn’t be happier. She is such a kind, friendly, and patient tutor who has made learning something my daughter genuinely looks forward to every week.
Not only are her lessons engaging and enjoyable, but it’s clear that Abi puts a lot of time and effort into preparing for each one. She goes above and beyond outside of the lessons to make sure they’re tailored and well planned, and it really shows.
It’s been wonderful to see my daughter’s confidence grow, and she can’t wait for her lesson each week. I would highly recommend Abi to anyone looking for a caring, dedicated, and fantastic tutor. Thank you for all your hard work!

Matthew B
My son was really struggling and behind in English (dyslexia and ADHD also). Working with Matthew B really gave his confidence a boost and made him feel like he finally understood how to approach questions and how paragraphs worked and it made a huge improvement on his work and most recent mock papers. Thank you so much for making him feel like he could do it after years of giving up on himself
